Fred Winter Juvenile Novices Handicap Hurdle Preview

The last race on day one of the Cheltenham Festival is a bookie friendly handicap race for four year old hurdlers run over 2m 110 yards.

Fred Winter Tips

This race has tended to go the way of the bookies since its introduction in 2005 with 40/1, 20/1 and 14/1 winners foiling some big gambles. Only David Pipe’s Gaspara has given the punters any relief when landing some big bets at 9/2 in 2007.
However all three of the bigger priced winners of the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle had run exactly three times so as to protect their good handicap marks. In contrast, Gaspara was having her 4th outing over hurdles in this country and had an extensive career over hurdles and fences in France before joining David Pipe. The key with her was her victory in the Imperial Cup at Sandown. So, perhaps we are either looking for an unexposed horse or one with more experience attempting to claim a Cheltenham bonus?

2009 Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle Tips

With only four year's previous form to go on it's starting to look like horses are being laid out especially for this race and handicap marks are being protected so look out for horses with just the three runs.

Our tips for 2009 will be available nearer to the race in March.
